Jared Lorenzen - there was no other talent like yours. U did the unthinkable and got yourself a ring. Forever known as a legend. Jared Lorenzen 1981-2019❤️

[@EazyE-501]

21:47 -- Fun fact: Prior to the OT rules changing in '21, Eli Manning and Jared Lorenzen were also involved in the two longest games in college football history -- Manning at Ole Miss in 2001 and Lorenzen at Kentucky in 2003 (two years and two days apart), with QB Matt Jones and the Arkansas Razorbacks beating them both. Ole Miss was finally beaten after 7 overtimes, and Kentucky after 6, but I remember both games well as a Hog fan who first got into football heavily in high school between 2000 and '04. Arkansas 58, Ole Miss 56. Nov. 3, 2001 - Oxford, Miss. ... Arkansas 71, Kentucky 63. Nov. 1, 2003 - Lexington, Ky. ...

[@Papote44]

I remember watching the Arkansas vs Ole Miss game, that was crazy i couldn't believe what i was watching. After a point in those OTs it becomes GUT CHECK time who wants it the most. What happened during regulation doesn't matter. Its about leaving everything on the field. Awesome game.

[@Alienated80]

Matt Jones was a bit of a cheat code in college - big and just deceptively fast. He always shocked a lot of people once he decided to take off running.

[@EazyE-501]

@@Alienated80 Seriously though -- you don't see a lot of guys at just over 6'6, 240lbs, with that kind of speed. I think his NFL Combine 40-time was a 4.37, which is insane, and he also had a 40" vertical. That's what excites me about Taylen Green coming in, although he's not nearly as much of a freak athlete as Jones was. I believe I've heard Green has 4.5 range speed, which is still exceptional at 6'6 and 220+ lbs.

[@Luke-ks8ry]

I was at that ole miss game 7OT game. Also was there in 2K and saw Hefty Lefty play. Both nights are seared into my brain and are foundational memories for me. I loved watching Jared Lorenzen play, wish he was still here.

[@kennedymcgovern5413]

We had a cat on my High School football team. he was 6'8", over 400Lb. But in our case, he had one of those helicopter moms. She was at every practice, bothering the hell out of the coaches at the end of practice...all of that. The effect was, she turned this monster of a kid...into a complete wimp. Coaches tried to start him anyway, just because of his size. But you would see it in the film every Monday morning. For about one series of downs, the D-line would respect this kid and try to maneuver around him. But after about 3 or 4 plays, he had always exposed himself and they realized he was the weak link in our line. They'd just start going right at him and he'd go backwards like he was on skates. When he was in the game, the defense knew that every play we ran was going to the other side. Halfway through the season coach gave up on him and parked him on the bench. The lesson, to all of you wanna be soccer moms whose sons opt for football: Step aside, and let the coaches make a man out of your boys. You can take the biggest kid on the planet and turn him into a wimp by overprotecting him. Helicopter Moms...you are crippling your kids.

[@Mooreof44]

true story. Had first-hand experience with this very situation. I played with a big guy like that but he didn't last long during my years of playing HS ball. When I came back to coach right after highschool he came back as a player since he was like 2 years younger than I was. So, I had to deal with it as a teammate and as a coach. yikes. Dude had the size to take on at least 2 if not 3 d linemen, but in reality, a little guy at 140 pounds could put a half decent hit on him and he is skating backward, like you said. lol

[@TheNewRevolution]

Same story. One of my best friends was 6' and 240 in the 5th grade. I can remember him almost being as tall as me when he was down in a 3 point stance as I was standing up. By high school, he was 6'6 300. He wasn't fat at all. He was just a big guy. His mother was 6'2 anf his dad was 6'6. He could have been a monster. But he was raised by an emasculating mother who ruined him. We truly tried everything to fire him up and make him mean. He would flash a streak then go right back to getting killed. He played DT and I was middle linebacker on defense. I literally tried to fire him up every play. Coaches tried everything. Telling him repeatedly that no one could stop him if he would just go out there and impose his will on people. They would privately ask me what his deal was. I'd explain to them the situation with his mother. By the time High School was over he was 6'8 340. With an NFL body. He was no longer even on the team. He quit. He didn't want to put in the work. He was lazy, had no competiveness, and squandered God given talent people would have died for. His mother was mostly to blame. I heard he did eventually become a man when he got away from her by joining the military. I would have killed to have the opportunities he just let pass him by. Coaches gave up on him after watching him just get whipped and manhandled by kids half his size.

[@tappajaav]

Very inspirational thought but not rooted on reality. There must be countless amount of people lacking limb(s) or sense(s) that were shown the door.

[@Blalack77]

As far as athletes missing limbs, I went to school (K-12) with a guy who loved sports and played basketball, football and baseball every year and went on to be a basketball coach at our high school. Everyone knew someday, when he had kids, he would pass that love of sports on to them and absolutely make athletes out of them. His son was born missing an arm. I think he's about the same age as my nephew (around 10-ish now) and from what I've heard, even missing an arm, he's still one of the best players in baseball and basketball - I think they're just now getting to the age to be able to play football, which I'm sure he'll excel at too. I know I'm trying to coax my nephew into playing next season (I think nowadays, they split pee-wee up into like 3rd/4th grade and 5th/6th grade - when I played pee-wee, it was 3rd-6th all playing together - which I'm sure was intimidating to 3rd graders - I started in 5th grade so the age gap wasn't a big deal - but it seems like splitting it up that way might make reluctant moms less hesitant to let their kids play lol). But anyway, I'm thinking, in an attempt to compensate for and overcome disabilities, some players can actually somewhat "overcompensate" and end up better than other players without disabilities. That seems to be a theme.

[@xxfloppypillowxx]

Man Jared's story is so relatable to me. I've been struggling with food so hard, I know it's gonna kill me but I just can't stop. I'm not hungry, but I just can't stop.I've been able to hold it down to a max of 325lbs and have made it down to 270 but I've just been stuck. I can't go long enough of eating well and working out I eventually break. Being addicted to food is awful because it's not like other addictions where you can just avoid that substance. I need to have food in my house but when I have food in my house I binge. It sucks.

My leg was crushed and my foot was completely turned around backwards. Luckily I was 2 blocks from a hospital and a nurse witnessed it and held me down until the paramedics got there. 2 months in the hospital, a year later more operations as my bones weren't healing either. The bone graft helped and thankfully I never got any infections. It took 5 years for me to walk again without casts, crutches, and canes.
